- Sweet meets spiceBois Mystique brings amber; Vanilla Skin brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- Notes in commonBoth list pink pepper and cashmere wood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, amber, warm spicy and balsamic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bois Mystique is moderate on both, Vanilla Skin moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVanilla Skin first, then Bois Mystique over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
